AfterShift vs Shift

Most sleep apps assume you sleep at night. If you work shifts, that's the whole problem — they score you against a 9-to-5 clock you don't work, so the nap you took before a night shift looks like "failure" instead of recovery. AfterShift is built the other way around. It measures your sleep and recovery between shifts — shift-to-shift, not midnight-to-midnight — so the numbers finally match the life you actually live. GLANCEABLE — WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Your next shift lives on your Lock Screen and Home Screen. Widgets show the countdown to your shift, your recovery, and your plan for right now. A Live Activity counts you down to shift start — then rolls into your wind-down window — on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Start an anchor nap and watch it tick down there too. All free. YOUR ROSTER, READ FOR YOU Connect your calendar and AfterShift detects your shifts automatically — no typing in three weeks of rota by hand. It even spots overtime and schedule changes. Five shift types are modelled: day, evening, night, on-call, and off. RECOVERY, TIMED TO WHEN YOU CLOCK OUT See how ready you are for your next shift, how your sleep debt is trending across cycles, and a clear recovery plan for the hours you actually have — not a generic "aim for 8 hours" you can't reach before a 7pm start. YES, THE NAP COUNTS Pre-shift naps, split sleep, and on-call rest are first-class here. AfterShift knows a 90-minute nap before nights is recovery, and scores it like one. REMINDERS TIMED TO YOUR SHIFT — FREE Wind-down, caffeine cut-off, and nap-window reminders fire relative to your next shift start, not the clock on the wall. All free.

Shift is the burnout tracker built for nurses, paramedics, doctors, and shift workers — the people who notice everyone else's warning signs but never their own. Most people don't see burnout coming until they crash. Your body shows the signs two to three weeks earlier — in your sleep, your heart rate variability, your activity. Shift reads those patterns from your Health data automatically and turns them into one daily burnout score. No wearable required. No 30-question check-ins. Open Shift and see where you stand. WHY SHIFT IS DIFFERENT Most wellness apps make you do the work — manual logging, long quizzes, daily journaling. That's the last thing a nurse coming off a 12-hour shift wants. Shift flips it: your iPhone already has the data. We turn it into a number you can act on. - Automatic daily burnout score from Health data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, activity) - Four clear zones: Thriving, Watching, Strained, Overloaded - 32 micro-actions, each under 3 minutes, matched to your current zone - Healthcare-specific resets: pre-handover breath, between-patient reset, after a critical event, leave-it-at-the-door - Patterns view: see whether shifts, sleep, or recovery days drive your burnout BUILT FOR SHIFT WORK - Pick your profession: nurse, doctor, paramedic, first responder, pilot, shift worker - Pre-shift and post-shift check-ins matched to your schedule - "Coming off nights" recognizes when you've just finished a night shift - Score patterns broken down by shift type (Pro) EVIDENCE-BASED Shift uses the BAT-12 (Burnout Assessment Tool), validated by KU Leuven and used in nursing burnout research across many countries. Heart rate variability as a burnout signal is supported by peer-reviewed studies in ICU nurses and emergency clinicians. The full methodology is disclosed in the app. APPLE WATCH + WIDGETS - Glance at your burnout score from your wrist - Quick mood logging on Apple Watch - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets - Watch face complication 100% PRIVATE - Everything stays on your device - No accounts, no logins, no cloud - No analytics, no third-party tracking - Export your data anytime as PDF, CSV, or JSON PRO - Patterns over 90 days and 1 year - Score breakdown by shift type - Daily 3-minute guided resets - Therapist-ready PDF report - Custom notification schedules Free includes: daily burnout score, 7-day patterns, all 32 micro-actions, weekly BAT-12 assessment, Apple Watch app, mood logging, and CSV export. WHO SHIFT IS FOR - Nurses and RNs working long or rotating shifts - Paramedics, EMTs, and first responders - Doctors and residents on call - Pilots and any shift worker whose schedule wrecks their sleep - Anyone tired of wellness apps that demand more energy than they give back Built by a solo Swiss developer who got tired of stress trackers that added more stress. IMPORTANT Shift is a self-awareness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. For clinical concerns — including persistent burnout, depression, or suicidal thoughts — contact a healthcare professional. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Try Shift free.
